Long-time Wu-Tang member RZA used to charge around $20,000 for a beat slash production session but now the rapper slash producer says he is inspired by the rock band The Red Hot Chilli Peppers to give things away free. "Musically, I got a friend of mine that’s given me a big musical lesson," RZA explained. "His name is John Frusciante from the [Red Hot] Chili Peppers. He said to me that he doesn’t make music no more for profit or people. Those that like it, love it or don’t love it — he doesn’t worry about the critics. He has enough financial security that he doesn’t have to never sell music again. I don’t have the same security, because I got so many family members. I’m never gonna be rich enough."

Since he makes money from Hollywood, books and other businesses, the rap legend says he makes tons of new music now for free. “I go to [Frusciante's] house a lot and make music with him," RZA said. "We just make music. I’ve made 100 songs this year, and probably nobody won’t hear them but us who made it. It feels good, yo. It feels good to do it with no strings attached. Not having to worry about if somebody is gonna criticize it, if it’s gonna sell. I’m past that. That’s a great place to be. I did a project recently with Damon Dash, the BlakRoc project with the Black Keys. He said, ‘RZA, if you in town, come by the studio and hang out. I got a few guys that like you. Maybe y’all can do some music together.’ I went through, we had a good vibe, did a little smoking. We just did music. It’s coming out. I don’t know who got paid, who did what. I got nothing. It’s nothing for me. It’s an expression of art. It feels good to do it that way. That’s how we started out." [RZA - Victory Or Death - Trailer - Watch Here]
